There has been a huge influx of random twitter screenshots that get a lot of upvotes. They are not even necessarily eloquently written or making an especially interesting point but just random quotes of people who happen to have a similar take on society. All the while actually relevant posts get buried. I don‘t think this is what this sub needs.

I am curious if anyone knows of any actions to take if you were forced/coerced into quitting so that you would not be approved for unemployment benefits. It happened to me about a year ago and thankfully I have a new and better job now, but I wanted to see if there is anything that can be done now or if it’s just something to be aware of in the future. For those that haven’t had this happen, don’t ever let a company make you feel pressured to quit. Ask them if you are being fired and ask to get it in writing. Don’t let them make it look like it was voluntary. Since it wasn’t performance related and I wasn’t leaving on bad terms, I felt like I had to for the sake of references and not being longterm unemployed and burning bridges. I was naive at the time…

Was on my final warning for overall poor attendance and attitude. I have been looking for a new job for some now but I guess they have made a decision for me. Meeting is this week.

What are some tips?

on mobile. please excuse formatting and typos, i can't be arsed. i have worked on and off at dunkin for a couple years. every franchise is privately owned, therefore has its own set of benefits, guidelines, grooming standards, etc. As, i'm currently stuck between a rock and a hard place, i decided to give dunkin another shot. This was a different franchise than the one I had previously worked at. I applied and about an hour later was invited to an interview for the following friday. I was hired on the spot of course, and handed paperwork to fill out… one of the questions was “can we call you for extra shifts?”… how polite of you to ask! no I decided to go to dunkin because it's one of the easiest jobs i've ever had and you usually get to eat and drink whatever during your shift while making tips.…

I just got back from a week off from covid. After being required to get a doctor's excuse, I logged in this morning to our PTO Portal to see that 40 hours had been taken for my absence. I understand COVID is being normalized in most places, but on the other side of that, this is still an involuntary virus we can get and it's recommended we're isolated for five days because of that. Why is this a reason to take all of the PTO I've worked for?

We don't get 1 day for Easter cause it falls on a sunday.. My company does give a day off this year for Xmas and June tenth because they fall on the weekend but why not Easter? I feel besides Xmas it's the biggest holiday
